This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Show them only
Flesh you needed
You want it for you too
(stares, stares that follow)
(stares, stares that follow)
They want it for you
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Sacrificial
Made for TV
(laughter's coming)
And goodbye kisses
Gave him family
Pray your dream
Pray you're dreaming
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Stares that follow
Friends to call on
Don't be desperate
(show them once)
Sacrificial
Made for TV
Laughter's coming
Goodbye kisses
(pray you stutter)
(pray it's not old)
Goodbye.
Flesh you needed
You want it for you too
(stares, stares that follow)
(stares, stares that follow)
They want it for you
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Sacrificial
Made for TV
(laughter's coming)
And goodbye kisses
Gave him family
Pray your dream
Pray you're dreaming
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Stares that follow
Friends to call on
Don't be desperate
(show them once)
Sacrificial
Made for TV
Laughter's coming
Goodbye kisses
(pray you stutter)
(pray it's not old)
Goodbye.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Stripping literally - or selling one's self and sacrificing that self for a superficial attention probably because one does not know themselves well enough.
knowing del naja - it seems to be about war, about power and being able to use it to assault something much smaller, weaker than you. the current situation in iraq in particular - 'invasion' is really ambiguous and oblique, but the lines "sacrificial, made for t.v.", and "are you all that / you're cracked up to be?" seem indicative of a critical view on america and britain's involvement in the situation. and because d, along with damon albarn, is quite notoriously anti-war on iraq, well. i don't know, i feel like i'm talking out of my arse anyway :|
I think this song is about the pression people around you do for you to be something or someone, all the hopes people put on you expecting you to be what they want, not what YOU want.
